Emotional health - how do we define it? If we do not see emotional health as an integrated process, we will miss an opportunity to enhance our helping skills and benefit our clients. In this workshop, we will explore emotional health from a biological and environmental system. Our perspectives will be changed as we begin to view disorders which are influenced not only by environment and not only by genetics - but with an integrated approach.
